To locate the clips under the strips from the outside wiggle the strip (if it will wiggle) and note the area of least wiggle. If the strip won't wiggle VERY CAREFULLY prise the strip a very small amount away from the metal and shine a strong beam of light in the opening to spot the clips. Once you locate a clip slide the smallest thinnest end of the bone tool under the strip at a point between two clips then slide the tool to the very edge of the clip. The pro body people use two tools - one on each side of the clip.

You can make a bone tool by cutting and grinding on a slice of 6" PVC pipe or buy one at the local AutoGroan for cheap.
